^ I can do #1 and #4 to some extent.

My ability to visualize is very good, I can "simulate" everything from car engines to orbital mechanics to logic circuits and it comes in handy for designing things. It works pretty well for higher dimensional stuff too although visualizing in 4D isn't easy. It definitely makes string theory and general relativity easier to understand.

I can absorb certain subjects as fast as the information can be presented to me. One time using my (at the time) rudimentary understanding of general and special relativity I figured out other more complex aspects of it. At first I thought it was an original idea but it turns out that Einstein beat me to it.

Most of my stuff is in the arts, but I taught myself to sew and pretty much taught myself how to do alot of things such as jewelry making, chain work, and things like that. Nothing too special.

Writing is mine. Not because of the ability to write original fiction stories. It's more because I am able to express myself through writing when verbal/emotional expression fail me. People are always amazed by this, coming from someone who has autism like I do. I guess you could consider it to be some sort of special ability. :3 I do think too that me writing original fiction stories is another way of expressing myself.

I'm in no way a savant, but I do feel rather excelled in writing skills. I checked "yes," though, not because of my writing, but because of my Synesthesia. My Syn has me relate other people's personalities to colors, often just by knowing their names. My friends think I'm an "aura reader" because of how much correlation I make between the colors of their names and the way they act. I can usually read what a person is like before I even meet them.

Yes. I'm super smart medically. I can't tell u how many times I've proven doctors wrong. Like when I was 7 and I told my Family Medicine doctor I had Asthma and he didn't believe me. Later when I was 14, I had a different Family Medicine doctor, since my mom fired him since he's a moron and I told her I had Asthma and she sent me to a specialist and turns out I do. And another time I had to make a Physiologist give me Zoloft to treat my Anxiety cause she's like "I think u may be Bipolar I can't give u this medication cause it might make u psychotic". So I told her give me the medication and now it works great and I have no more stomach problems. She even increased my dose 3x since I respond so well to it. Or when a Pediatric Endocrinologist told me "there's nothing wrong with I think ur just short" and "if ur still upset about ur height go see a shrink". I took a ancestrydna test then downloaded my entire dna code then decoded some of my dna and ran it through certain databases and I found a IGF-1 mutation. I can now prove that I have a Growth Hormone Deficiency cause IGF-1 is like the receptor for Growth Hormone. If u don't have enough IGF-1 then u don't have enough Growth Hormone. And the dna test also revealed that i'm from an African tribe called the Baka Pygmies and they're are the shortest people in the world and have the least longest life span. Due to an IGF-1 mutation. So now i'm gonna go see a geneticist to prove what a moron he is. And I always gets A's in any Health related classes. So that's my special ability. I'm great at basically anything medical.

I have several special abilities but the one that seems to be the most developed is my ability to piss other people off.

Oh, and I have a magic ring that imparts special powers of arguing:

No, unless you consider "exceptional long-term/verbal memory" as a special ability, but it's like a savant skill if you know what I mean.

Actually research shows that the empathy ability in autistic people are significantly higher than that of non-autistics however the ability to KNOW when to be empathetic and compassionate is low.

I swear you said something about having a very good ability to remember photos, and from your description it sounds like you are about as good at it as I am.

Also, I saw your DA page and I must say you are definitely much better at drawing then I am. I'm no art expert but compared to my chicken scratch I'd say you are pretty talented.

I forgot to mention that I have perfect pitch, a good singing voice, and overall a lot of natural talent with music. I just never cared enough about music to exploit it.

I'm very good at coming up with rhymes.

I am also rather good with analogies.
